Day 3: A song that makes your mind float

Listening to Ratatat and, more importantly, watching this music video while flying a mycelium kite literally makes you float away into worlds hitherto unknown.

RATATAT - Cream on Chrome

Day 2: The last song you listened to
"Don't Dream It's Over" - Sixpence None the Richer

Neil Finn's immortal song - that Maori strum gets me every time. Also a wonderful example of lyrics that can be applied to so many different emotional contexts.

Day 3: A song that makes your mind float

Peter Gabriel's most recent album, i/o, is a joy from start to finish. It took him too long to make, but at least the finished product is worth it.

Twisted transistor - Korn
For those days when I want to block the world and melt into music, this is the first song on the playlist. Set Cal's stereo to 44 and take the long way to work, gives me energy every time

For the rest of my life, oh yeah..."

"For the Rest of My Life," Flo & Joan.

My four year old is obsessed with this music video. She is constantly asking me to watch the "hospital video" and giggles at the fact that the doctor forgot to wear underwear.

We just watched this together. I'm a questionable mother.

Throw Some Ass - Sofi Tukker

Commercial Pumping - Beat Saber ( I don't know the musician)
So I play a virtual reality game on the meta quest called beat saber. It's a game that mixes movement with sound. Is it dancing? Probably not. I swing virtual light sabers in time to a beat, in specific fluid directions in order to smash cubes. It's not great music per se but it works with the game. I always start with a song called Commercial Pumping. It has fast and slow movements as well as stretches, lunges, squats.. a good warm up to more difficult songs. This song, this game, let's my mind soften. If I can get into the flow my mind and body connect without concentration. And that allows thoughts to flow freely without interpretation or judgement. I can float.
None of the videos I found even begin to show what it feels like to melt into music so thoroughly.

I like psychedelic music.

And I like this song and this band as driving music or when I get a bit of time to just relax. Nice and mellow and dream-poppy.

Beach House - Superstar
